Great piece. Sounds like they were already on the fringes to begin with though.

There's lots of incontacted tribes out there

There is an island in the Indian region that has a tribe that inhabit the island and attack anybody that approach it. They've killed 2 fisherman that drifted too close once

Pretty sure the government just said we aren't dealing with them anymore after a few attempts to make contact and they leave them alone

The above mentioned tribe were found in the amazon im pretty sure

Usually contact with tribes like this is the end for them because they're not immune to our common viruses etc
 
Really makes you realise how adaptable the human body is. I find this bit absolutely amazing...

"Yet the Lykovs lived permanently on the edge of famine. It was not until the late 1950s, when Dmitry reached manhood, that they first trapped animals for their meat and skins. Lacking guns and even bows, they could hunt only by digging traps or pursuing prey across the mountains until the animals collapsed from exhaustion. Dmitry built up astonishing endurance, and could hunt barefoot in winter, sometimes returning to the hut after several days, having slept in the open in 40 degrees of frost, a young elk across his shoulders."

Sounds like Dmitry would have been a fair 'run with' player

Would love to kidnap one of them and place them in the middle of a busy city like New York and film what they do.
 
Anymore of these stories, i swear i remeber seeing something in south america they found like a whole lost tribe or something?
Yeah, I think it might have been Peru where they found one just two or three years ago. Others have been found in only the last 20 years or so in Indonesia and I think PNG. Dense jungle in hills seems a good place for tribes to go unseen, particularly nomadic ones who don't make clearings which are visible from the air.
That's a little different to a family who escapes society and remains totally isolated for decades.
